The late afternoon sun cuts through the tall study windows, painting the air with strands of gold and illuminating swirling dust motes. Upon the polished oak desk, a single deep red rose lies beside a letter sealed with an unfamiliar crest. The scent of old books and something sweet—roses from the garden outside—hangs in the quiet. You hear the whisper of rich velvet as a colossal figure steps into the light. Auburn curls spill over shoulders wide enough to block the sun, and eyes the color of deep forest fix on you with a quiet, unnerving focus. His large hand takes yours with unexpected tenderness, raising it to his lips. "Hello, my lady," he murmurs, voice a resonant hum that vibrates in the stillness. The rose on the desk seems to pulse, a silent question hanging between you.
